The USB Hub stands out from the otherwise pleasing often quite gray representatives. I like this, especially the sleek metallic look with its rounded corners. The advantage here is also that the USB ports are slightly slanted and can connect to as convenient device and plug to the hub. In other hubs you have often the problem is that thicker sticks resting on the desk and can not easily be put into the appropriate socket. A nice addition is a small Velcro, which allows you to attach the USB hub on the desk.
Speed and reliability
I have found no problems with the transfer rate, even with multiple devices that were connected to the hub. I can also do not care about the reliability of the connection to complain (Winows 7, 64bit). I have made several large transfers to different media (USB flash drive, USB HDDs). It was not once an interruption.
Price and performance
Considering the performance I am absolutely satisfied with the price. For 20 EUR you get a solid piece of art. Only the USB cable should be a little longer.
